When a company shows up on a Habitat build site, the impact reaches far beyond a single Saturday. It reaches into offices, team meetings, client calls… and into the lives of the families waiting for stability.

In Episode 5 of Habitat: Heart, Hammer, and Home, hosts Mark Deal and Pat Fenner widen the lens to explore the quieter force behind every Habitat project. Featuring the companies, sponsors, and leaders whose decisions help turn rising costs into rising walls. Through candid conversations with corporate partners, financial leaders, and culture builders, we discover how community engagement becomes a strategy for connection, morale, and legacy inside the workplace.

This episode follows three leaders whose companies invest more than dollars… they invest themselves. You’ll hear how service transforms teams, why brand values grow stronger through action, and what happens when employees build something real together. With their hands, with their hearts, and with their companies behind them.

• Why rising construction costs make corporate partnerships more important than ever
• How companies like Moore Colson use service to strengthen culture and deepen connection
• What CFOs, partners, and CMOs see when their teams build together
• How marketing and culture leaders translate mission work into authentic storytelling
• Practical insight for leaders who want to begin, scale, or strengthen a corporate partnership
• The ripple effects that return to the office on Monday morning with energy, unity, purpose
